It's been a while. Last post I complained a lot about the thesis, but shortly afterward I submitted it (August 26th to be exact) and twiddled my thumbs... for a couple of weeks before getting a job. A proper(ish) job. A plant-related job with more than a modicum of respectability. Only I had to leave town in quite a rush to start the new job.
Nowadays I get to re-learn all the stuff that got me so excited about plants and drew me into a profession where I could study them all day. Yeah, I'm a lecturer and I have the task of making people enjoy learning about photosynthesis and soil micro-organisms. I never thought I would hear the words 'photosynthesis' and 'NADPH' in a rap song... check this out
There's more. So much more, and it's great fun. Just how to get the students to 'be' plant cell organelles...?
The 'not quite dusted' bit means I have yet to get through the viva and publish my research, so I'm not quite ready to change the salutation on my credit card to 'Dr.' Watch this space.
that's great!
